Academy Awards Fashion 2005

Best:


Charlize Theron
Lovely and ethereal. It’s a good thing she didn’t keep the “Aeon Flux” hair.


Kate Winslet
The color is stunning. Everything about this look is right.


Cate Blanchett
The detailing and interesting color choices made this dress special.


Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs and girlfriend Kim Porter
My pick for best-dressed couple of the evening.

Honorable Mentions:


Halle Berry
Not crazy about the hair


Kirsten Dunst:
Sexy, classic, well-fitted and age appropriate


Oprah Winfrey


Gwyneth Paltrow:
Lovely except for the distracting near wardrobe “malfunction” of the too tight bodice.

Worst:


Virginia Madsen
It just didn’t appeal to me. The dress seemed too dowdy and too young at the same time. What I especially disliked was the unflattering hairstyle.


Johnny Depp
I appreciate that he wants to send the message that he doesn’t care to be a part on the “Hollywood” crowd, but then why does he show up to all the awards shows? Vanessa Paradis looks quite lovely, but Depp’s suit looks like it is ill-fitting and unpressed.


Melanie Griffith
Tacky and unflattering


On The Fence:



Hilary Swank
From the back, drop dead. From the front, just funereal. I do applaud her for taking a bit of a risk here. Though there were no huge mistakes this year, there was also little originality.


Laura Linney
The color is all wrong, but I don’t hate it.
